When you go to sell your house you want to do all you can within reason to get it sold right away. Another way to get it sold by using the bird dog method i blogged about recently is - staging your house.
Usually when you are done with your flip the house is empty and the walls are bare - there is no furniture in the house. It has been said that staging a home and putting furniture in it will sell better than an empty house.
It allows the potential buyer to get a really good view and feel about the house. You can look in your local yellow pages for a company that specializes in this. If you have money in the budget than I certainly reccommend trying to staging the home.
The staging company will bring in their own furniture you pay the fee and when he house sells they take the furniture back in many cases. Certain cases the furniture can be sold along with the home.
But the general idea here is to give the home some personality and feel to it instead of just an empty home.

Our local library has art work (paintings, sculptures) that can be checked out, just like checking out a book. What a great FREE way to warm things up a little.

Staging is one of the many techniques that new flippers fail to realize will help them get their house sold quickly. Common misconception – “I should leave my house bare so potential buyers can envision their own furniture in the rooms.” This is completely false. Most people need to be spoon-fed information, and envisioning a fully furnished house is no exception. Get your house properly staged and you will reap the furnishing fee in your quicker profit.
